Alan Jay Lerner - Best Things Lyrics

[PARDNER]
The earth is pure muck

[BEN RUMSON]
Muck's a good thing

[PARDNER]
And oozing with mud

[BEN RUMSON]
Mud is just fine

[PARDNER]
It's drownin' in bog

[BEN RUMSON]
Bog is good luck

[PARDNER]
And crawlin' with crud

[BEN RUMSON]
Crud's a good sign
The poor, they got hope
The rich can buy soap
[PARDNER]
The rainbows, they got a pot of
And I, ain't got a spot of
A few feet down, there's a lot of

[BEN RUMSON]
Just waitin' to buy, tobacco and rye
From now till I die

[BEN AND PARDNER]
The best things in life are dirty
And nothing in life is...

[BEN RUMSON]
Better to owe than dab in gold
Both:
The best things in life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold

[PARDNER]
There's more than just gold

[BEN RUMSON]
Gold is enough

[PARDNER]
That's buried below
[BEN RUMSON]
Beautiful gold

[PARDNER]
There's seed in the ground

[BEN RUMSON]
Lovable gold

[PARDNER]
Just waitin' to grow

[BEN RUMSON]
Spendable gold
A man has his creed
And mine is all greed

[ALL]
Well bite that bogey 'en hound dog
And gold I ain't got an ounce of
Below there's endless amounts of

[BEN RUMSON]
Just dirty ol' trash
That turns in a flash
To dirty ol' cash
[ALL]
The best things in life are dirty
The worst thing in life is...

[BEN RUMSON]
Wakin' up clean, without a bean

[ALL]
The best things in life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold
The best things in life are dirty
The worst thing in life is...
Being content, without a cent
The best things is life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold, gold
Stinkin', rotten, chunks of
Grimy, slimy, lousy, lovely

[BEN AND PARDNER]
Gold
